From AudioFile:
Meet Eddy Bale, whose 12-year-old son has tragically died from a terminal illness. Eddy is determined to take other terminally ill children to Disney's Magic Kingdom to experience life. Elkin's similes and stream-of-consciousness descriptions flow seamlessly from Graeme Malcolm's narration. However, Malcolm's bland droning and decidedly British accent require the listener to work a little harder to appreciate the tale buried within the literary technique. M.B.K.
